No class of men are more inclined to disturb the public peace, or set at defiance Acts of Parliament unsuitable to their taste, than those who profess to be the only truly loyal and religious portion of the com munity. The old bigoted Tories have within the last twelve months given many proofs of this mischievous and disloyal principle, they have made every exertion to excite the people against the law, and had recourse to the most violent language and the most insolent denunciations, not against the Government; only, but also against the Legislature, with the laudable view of attracting notoriety by a prosecution on the part of the Law Officers of the Crown. The Bishop of EXETER openly announced his intention of asserting his spiri tual supremacy over Acts decreed by the three Estates of the realm. The Tory OASTLER and the Rev. Mr. STEPHENS follow the example of the pious Bishop, and one of them at least calls upon the people to provide themselves with fire-arms to resist the law, yet all in vain—no prosecution follows—their mighty words fall dead-born on the multitude, and they are left as much unmolested as if there was no such per sonage as Attorney-General. This is a sad infliction •on these vain demagogues, but it is a great blessing to the communi t y at large, and a vast improvement on the absolute Tory system of lifting every empty headed brawler into notice, by subjecting him to a public prosecution. We have not often reason to praise the Government, but for this they deserve all praise. The true mode of treating religious fanatics was, after many years of persecution, found to be to leration ; xid the MELBOURNE Ministry have the merit of applying the same principle, and with com• plete success, to the cure of political fanatics. We are not aware that the present Attorney-General has instituted one prosecution for libels, spoken or printed. Had he followed the example of Attorney -General SCARLETT, in all probability OASTLER and FEARGUS O'CONNOR would by this time have been elected Members of Parliament, or, at all events, would have received for their martyrdom ample public subscriptions, which possibly they would rather prefer. HUNT and COBBETT became the idols of the people because they were the victims of the Tory Government. Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE owes his seat in Parliament, and also his scat in the Cabinet, to incarceration in Newgate ; and had his patron, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, been subjected to proper treat ment for his disease, he would in two years have be come what he now is, a quiet inoffensive twaddler, forgotten by the public, and alik e respecte d by his s and T or i es . W e regard friends and foes—the Whig this change as an important feature in the sy s t em o f Government, and confidently trust that the Attorney no other punishment to the Bish o p General will apply of EXETER and his more warlike imitators. We have much pleasure in referring our readers to the report of a meeting held on Monday last, at New castle, on the subject of stea m boat accidents, which appears in another part of The Sun. The imme diate cause of the meeting was the loss of the Forfar shire, and its object was to devise means for preventing similar calamities in f u t ure . The public owe a debt of gratitude to the gentlemen of Newcastle, for the promptitude with which they have taken up a question in which the safety of that large portion of the com munity who avail themselves of the advantages of steam-boat conveyance, is so deeply involved. But Newcastle will not be the only town in which measures will be adopted to procure for steam-boat travellers that protection to which they are entitled. We trust that many other towns will follow the excellent example which it has had the honour to set in the cause of humanity. The first resolution passed at this most respectable meeting was moved by Mr. Alderman RIDLEY, and is expressed in the following words :—" That this meeting sincerely accords with the general feeling of sorrow for the serious loss of life occasioned by the wreck of the Forfarshire steam-vessel on the coast of Northumberland, and entertains a fear that it was in some measure to be attributed to some fault or deficiency in the machinery or the vessel." The only fault we have to find with this resolution is the excessive meekness of the latter part of it. The meeting, instead of saying that they " entertain a fear" that the loss of the Forfizi shire was in some measure to be attributed to some fault or deficiency in the ma chinery or vessel," ought to have stated boldly that which every one present must have felt, namely, that there was the clearest evidence that the appalling loss of life by the wreck of this vessel, was owing to faults and deficiencies both in the machinery and in the ves sel. Can there be a doubt that the leaking of the boilers was the cause of the putting out the fires un der them ? Why, it was given in evidence by one of the eng,iile-men before the inquest, that such was the fact, and that in the engine-room the water was nearly knee deep, and so hot that he could no longer stand in it. And the gravamen of the charge against the proprietors is the damning fact, that they were cogni zant of the defectire state of the machinery, and yet kept this unseaworthy steamer running along a dan gerous coast, seemingly regardless of any other object than that of filling their pockets. What did it signify to them whether two or three score of pasF;engers lost their lives or not ? They were secure against all loss— their vessel was insured—they were involved in no re sponsibility. Whether or not the folfiffshire was in a seaworthy state in other respects, is a question which, we think, admits of nearly as little doubt as that her machinery was unserviceable. 1-Ild this steamer been equipped in the way that those steamers are, or ought to be, which have to navigate boisterous seas, particularly along a coast not abounding over much in harbours,. she would, by aid of her canvas, after her paddles had become useless, have, in ail probability, escaped her lamentable fate. Surely, with the wind at N.N.E., it ought to have been no very difficult matter for any ves sel that could show canvas, to have cleared the land in a southerly direction ; vet we find that when it was attempted to hoist her sails, she fell to leeward like a log, and was totally unmanageable. We have not yet done with this subject, but we must stop here to-day. In the number of the Monthly Chronicle just pub lished, there is an admirable article on the " People's Charter," in which the present favourite ultra-Radical crochet of Universal Suffrage meets with all the at tention—and no more—that it deserves. Justly is it there said, " it cannot be denied that the immediate effect of these meetings is favourable to the Conser vatives, and not only to the party of the Conservatives, but to the spirit of Conservatism ; for the true Radi cals would, we apprehend, sooner be Conservatives than Destructives." This is precisely the language we held ourselves, when commenting on the late " demonstra tions" at Manchester and Liverpool, which, we are more than ever persuaded, will have no other effect than that of cheering the flagging spirits of rank, incorrigible Toryism. Let but the Universal Suffrage men perse vere in their system of premature agitation, and they will raise a crop of Colonel SIBTHOItPES throughout the country, whose inveterate hostility, they them selves will be the first to feel. Is it by alarming the holders of property ; by separating them selves from the influential middle classes ; by fill ing the minds of all prudent Reformers with ' distrust; by setting at naught the sound dictates of intelligence and propriety : by holding out indirect threats of an appeal to physical force, and throwing ridicule on the very name of Reform itself—is it by means like these that the Universal Suffrage men hope to attain their ends ? Infatuated zealots ! Every step they make in the path of agitation ; only carries them further from the goal. Theirs is not a forward, but a backward movement. They fancy them selves strutting in the van, when, in fact, they are lagging in the rear of true Reform. They are not pioneers, but deserters, from the camp of freedom. As for the patriotism to which their O'CONNORS, their VINCENTS, and the rest of their leaders lay claim in such sounding terms, never was panegyric so ridiculously misapplied ! The true patriot endeavours to make the different classes of society act in harmony with each other, so as to pro duce a healthy and enlightened movement of the whole, instead of sowing the seeds of distrust and alarm between them. He works, not in a sectarian, but in a Catholic, spirit—by conciliation, not by repulsion. But your Universal Suffrage-man—th a t worst of political suicides ! —would array every class of society against him. He would bid Whig and Tory, Churchman and Dissenter, Conservative and Liberal, forego their differences, and combine together for pro tection against him. And these are the means by which he would hope to achieve the darling object of his ambition—just as if to accumulate obstacles in his path, were the readiest mode to facilitate his progress ! We are not here arguing against the ' principle of Universal Suffrage, but only against the period chosen for its agitation. In the existing state of society, there is no denying the fact, that it is but a synonym for Universal Confusion. A system of na tional education must precede it. The masses must be soundly, not superfically, instructed, before they can be allowed the exercise of' the Suffrage ; for what security can we have for good Government, when ignorance, and its inseparable companion bigotry, are invested with a share in the legislation ? Papers e have toth re e cev s i t c h d, by ii w .i a n y of Liverpool, clusive.iiere Nw w e ,as ork the n very little stirring in the corAmercial world ; nor did the political atmosphere differ much in temperature from the date of the last arrivals.

LEVI WOODBURY, Secretary to the Treasury. There is no recent news from South America in these Journals, and only vague and uni►nportant rumours from the Canadas. Several influential merchants in New York have formed themselves into a society for conducting an inquiry into the extent of the loss sustained by the blockade of Mexico by France, and to insist upon receiving from the French Government ample compensation. What will Louis PHILIPPE say to this practical way of interpreting the text of GROTIUS and PUFFENDORFI , ? The following extract from a letter from Barbadoes, copied from the New York Journal of Commerce, will be read with deep interest by the slavery aboli tionists. The truly gratifying fact stated in it has been already communicated to the public, but as its correctness has been questioned, we are delighted to receive such a confirmation of intelligence so welcom e to the people of England : BARTIADGES, AUG. 2. 1838.—Yesterday's sun rose upon eight hunired thousand freemen, on whom and their ancestors It w the a ba s d o g l e e m o n f , l de a l ‘ i . 0 ,7 r h y t c l u ie l . , d m rf t t e n d , e m fo o r r a t b wio e ta y n drie look ear it as a matter of excaeding thankfulness, that I have been per mitted to be a witness to it, and to be able to speak, from experience and from observation, of the happiness to which that day has given birth. The day had previously b e ,,, set apart by proclamation of the Governor " as a day of devout thanksgiving and praise to Almighty G a d for the happy termination of slavery." The thanks giving and praise, were most truly sincere, heart felt, and general. It was an emancipation, not merely of the slave, but of the proprietor. It was felt as such __openly acknowledged and rejoiced in as such. Never have I witnessed more apparently unfeigned expressions of satisfaction than were male on that day by the former owners of slaves, at the bad of which they have been relieved. The spirit that seemed to fill the entire population was emi nently th spirit of peace, good will, thankfulness, and of joy too deep, too solemn, to allow of any loud or noisy demonstation of it. Of course all stores, shops and offices of every kind were closed. Sc also, were all Places of amusement. No sound of revelry, no evidences of nightly excess were to be heard or seen. Ido not say too much when I assert that the reign of orCer, peace, and sobriety was complete. The close of the day was not less auspicious than its com mencement, and nowhere could aught he seen to mar the de cent and truly impressive solemity of the day. There were no dances, no merry-making of any sort ; not a solitary drunkard, not a gun fired, nor even was a shout heard to wel come in the newborn liberty. The only groups we saw, were going to or returning from the different chapels and churches, except in a few instances, where families might be seen read ing or singing hymns at their own dwellings. P. S. August Dth—All is quiet and the utmost good order every where prevails. The following letter from our New York Corres pondent will be found to include a summary of all the news received relative to the State of Trade and the Money Market : (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT, xmettoitoecneo. Now YORK, SEPT. 7, 1838.—Since my l ast t h ere h as been several European arrival!, including the packet ship South America, which bring us Liverpool dates to the 4th, and London to the 2d ult. The intelligence is looked upon as generally favourable to commercial matters, but has not had any essential effect upon the market, excepting in Cotton, which has rather improved. The business of the city has been very active, much more so than at the date of my last letter, and European dry goods are selling at good prices, and as readily as can be desired. Respecting the increase of duties of certain descriptions of imports, mentioned in my last letter, or last but ono, it now appears that our Collector has not had the authority for the enforcement of the exactions before stated, as the following article respecting the recent Custom-house move ment will show NEW CIRCULAR AS TO THE TARIFF.—We are sorry to blow out a fine-spun theory of the Opposition by a few facts, but duty requires it, however disagreeable the result may be t 3 croakers. By an article in the National Intelliyencer, pur porting to be extracted from the New York American, it is suggested that " the Treasury is sadly pushed for money ;" that "the head of the Treasury" has, therefore, by his ipse dixit, altered the Tariff, so as to lay an increased tax on tho merchants of some "three or four hundred thousand dollars ;" and that " the Secretary of the Treasury had arrived at the conclusion" that this course was right, &c. We have made inquiry at the proper place, and find that the Secretary of the Treasury has issued no such circular or regu lation whatever on the subject of the Tariff, nor has he pro posed to issue any, and that he has not directed the Comptrol ler to issue any new one. The naked truth is, that the Comp troller, who is ex officio Commissioner of the Customs, has on his own promptings been examining the subject of the con flicting usages at different ports in assessing duties on certain articles, and has proposed to issue a circular concerning them, after full consideration and advice ; but neither the design or effect of it will be to alter the Tariff, or to materially vary the construction of it which has generally prevailed. It will, how ever, when issued, preserve uniformity, it is hoped, and pre vent irregularities. This law.!able object is the source of all the recent wanton abuse of the Treasury department, on the subject of the Tariff, by the virulent Opposition Press. The Cotton Market is rather active. The transactions during the week are estimated at 2,200 bales, and include Uplands at 81 and 131 ; Tennessees and Alabamas 84 to 10} cents. ; fine Mobiles, Louisianas, 12i to 144 cents. per lb. The Flour Market has also improved, and Western has advanced, 25 to 37i cents. per barrel since my last. In Southern not quite so much advance, but rather an improve ment. Wheat:—Southern may be noted at 1 ; 50 to 1,60 dollars ; Foreign, 1,42 to 1,46 dollars for 60 lbs. Corn, 88 to 90 cents. for 561 b. Exchange on Englani has been to a moderate extent, at 109 to 109} per cent.—principally at the latter rate. Bills in France, 5,2.4 dollars. STOCKS.-United States Bank Shares, yesterday, 12:1 dollars per share ; F armer ' s Trust Company, 114 dollars ; American Trust Company, 115 to 1151 dollars; Ohio Trust Company, 103 i dullars. We have received the whole of the Paris Journals of Thursday. The Monileur contains the following. telegraphic dispatch, which is no more than a confir tnation of the news published in the London Journals of yesterday " STRASBURG, SEPT. 26, HALF-PAST FOUR P.M. THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR IN SWITZERLAND TO THE PRESI DENT OF TUE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS. 4 ' LUCERNE.

The following is a translation of the letter of Prince Louts NAPOLEON, referred to in this dispatch : " TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE LANDAMMANN ANDERWERT, PRE SIDENT OF THE MINOR COUNCIL OF THE CANTON OF TIII7R GOVIA. INlOnteibellleo wl'aaandaardmreastisen:l—toNtN;i submit to the requisitions of the French Government, for it concerned me to prove, by a refusal to absent myself, that I When n Diet,the I n n ote ao repugnance e t p h u e g Ila Duke nee dt to had returned to Switzerland without breaking any engage ment, because I had the right to remain there, and because I found in it assistance and protection. " Switzerland has proved, during now a month, by her ener getic protestations, and by the decisions of the Great Coun cils which have up to this time been assembled, that she was prepared to make every, the greatest, sacrifices to main tain her dignity and right. She has fulfilled her duty as Rn independent nation. I shall do mine, and remain faithful to the dictates of honour. I may be persecuted, but I shall ne ver be degraded. The French Government having declared that the re fusal of the Diet to accede to her demand would be the signal for a conflagration of which Switzerland might perhaps be the victim, there remains nothing for me, therefore, but to quit a country in which my presence is the object of su c h unjust pretensions, and might be the pretext for great mis fortunes. ~ I p ra y you, then, M. le L an d ammann, to announce to the Federal Directory, that I shall set out as soon as I can obtain from the Ambassadors of the different Powe rs the passports necessary for my journey to some place wh ere I may find a secure asylum. 4.

I shall never forget the noble conduct e, without com promising the cantons that have so boldly pronounced in my favour ; nia.stlitoannsi'vevhaobel ought to remain and, in an especial manner, the . generous protection granted to me by the Canton of Thurgovia will ever remain deeply en graven on my heart.

We are indebted to the Swiss and Paris correspon. dente of the Times for the following intelligence re specting the effect of the PRINCE'S letter upon the authorities of France and Switzerland respectively : ZURICn, SEPT 24, Six o'CLocx.—l write you these few few lines in great haste, to inform you that the Minor Coun cil of Zurich, having had communicated to it the letter of the Prince, assembled at four o'clock this evening, and has una nimously resolved that, by reason of that letter of the Prince, the meeting of the Grand Council to deliberate on the reply to be given to the demand of the French Government (fixed for the 25th inst. ) should not take place. A courier was in consequence immediately despatched fur Lucerne to announce to the Federal Directory the resolution so taken by the Go vernment of Zurich, and which thus renders the meetiag of the Diet appointed for the Ist October improbable. PARIS, SEPT. 27.—At eleven o'clock last night a courier left the hotel of the President of the Council of Switzerland, with despatches for the Duke de Montebello, commandin him t 3 renew his demand that a decree of banishment be pro nounced by the Diet against Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. This resolve of the French Government is irrevocable. Should the French Government really persist in this insolent demand, the consequences may yet be disastrous. But we cannot. pcnivade ourselves that Louis PHILIPPE will so far forget the interests of his family and of France as thus to persist in playing the game of the great Northern Powers. This fact is neither overlooked nor concealed by the Liberal Press of France. The Commerce of Thursday has the following significant observations upon the sub ject, which are responded to by most of the leading Journals : " Austria assists, indoler.tly fur the moment, is is true, but in fact she does assist, the French Cabinet against Switzer. land. Behold her motives:— " Austria with pleasure sees France establishing a prece dent against herself, on the doctrine of the expulsion of foreign refugees. " Austria has nothing to lose, but much to gain, by enve noming the motives for animosity already entertained by SA it zerland against France. The present and future influence of Austria in Switzerland cannot fail to be increased by this contest. " Austria perceives in the probable collision a mode by which to arrive at the destruction of the detnocrwic institu tions of Switzerland. " In Le, Austria wishes to demonstrate to every nation, and to every people who placed hopes in ' the Government of July' the sort of confidence that is to be placed in the protec tion of France." Austria takes not half the delight in the conduct of France that Russia enjoys from it. To the Emperor NICHOLAS it affords as much real pleasure as would a vote of the Chamber of Deputies recognising his right to send every . Pole in the empire to the most inhospitable reigion in Siberia. It is stated in a letter from Bayonne of the 23d inst., that the wound received by General ALAIX, in his late engagement with the Carlist chief, GA liclA, is mortal. The following extracts, from the papers, are no without interest : The Sultan has forwarded a magnificent present for her Majesty Qucen Victoria, composed of a necklace of diamonde, rubies, and emeralds, of the value of upwards of 12,,000/: The casket in which it is enclosed is closed by an enamelled plate, on which is represented the cipher of the Sultan, the whole surrounded by diamonds of great value. Lord Palmerston has been decorated with the order of Nichan The Commerce asserts that a gross affront has been offered to the French Embassy at St. Petersburgh by the Emperor Nicholas, who has given the Ambassador notice to quit the palace generally known as the Hotel de France, and in which, from time immemorial, the representatives of France have resided. The pretest on which this offensive step has been taken is stated to be that the Emperor, who is said to possess fifteen palaces unoccupied in the capital, requires the locality in question for his archives. Count Mole, the Commerce adds, has deeply felt the insult, and has resented it by giving notice of quittal to the proprietor of the hotel which has hitherto been hired in Paris by the French Government for the accommodation of the Russian Ambassador. A letter from Arenenberg, published in the Commerce, contains the following : " Prince Napoleon denies, in the most formal manner, the repert, spread by the Ministerial Press of France, that he had sought service in Russia. Never has he, nor any person in his name, made, or even thought of making, such a petition. The young Duke Maximilian of Leuchtenberg (son of Prince Eu gene Beauharnois), who was treated by the Emperor Nicholas with singular kindness, wished, it is true, to do a service to his cousin, and in his own name besought the Emperor not to join the other Powers who persecute at this time the Prince. The Moniteur Parisien and the Journal des Debats have alone thought fit to envenom this proceeding, and cause it to be considered as an attempt of Prince Napoleon to attach himself to the military fortunes of Russia." It seems that Don Carlos is exerting himself to the utmost to obtain aid in money from the Northern Powers. Ile has sent several agents into Germany, who have already obtained pretty considerable sums, either as voluntary donations, or by negociating bonds of the Pretender. Accordingly, ardent hopes are entertained at Estella, and they firmly rely on the speedy triumph of absolute monarchy, and the Inquisition. We extract the following article from a Morning Journal : We learn that the negociations which have been going on for some years between France and Belgium have been brought to a satisfactory conclusion. The new modifications in the Tariff of Import Duties have been proposed and agreed to between the two Gov't - laments. It is not intended, as was proposed two years ago, to abolish the Import Duties on the line between Belgium and France, to the detriment of both nations. The question has been placed on a narrower basis, and is confined, as we are told, to a revisal of the Tariff on the basis which was laid before the Chamber of Representatives in its last Session, and which was not accepted by it. It will be recol lected that at that time the Chamber gave to the Belgian Mi nistry authority to molify the duties by an ordinance, on con dition that the measure adopted should be subsequently sanc tioned by a vote of the legislature. The Cabinet of Brussels has availed itself of this power, and it is said that M. Lehon signed last week a new convention with the President of the Council. On Saturday a gentleman belonging to the Lega tion set out to lay this convention before King Leopold for his sanction. If it is approved, it will probably not satisfy all the wants of the merchants and manufacturers, but will at least be a first step towards a less rigorous system of prohibition than that which has been so long persisted in.—Le Commerce.

There is but little doing in the English Money Market, and Consols, which closed yesterday at 93i- 94, opened this morn ing at the same quotation. Yesterday n as settling and pay day in the Foreign Market, and although the account was heavy to settle, it passed off without any failure. Up to the present time there has not been a single bargain done, there being but few members at the Stock Exchange; to-day, being the \Vhite Fast, the Hebrews are all at synagogue.

The staple and colour are both good, and we would class the staple between good fair and Liverpool fine. The accounts from New Orleans, of the 29th August, state that three small lots of new cotton had arrived. For the first bale that came in 13 cents were offered and refused, but would now be accepted. Oa receipt of a few hundred bales we are likely to open at 121 cents. Up to this time, we have no further arrival to communicate.

Upon the cheque being taken to Colonel Peel's lodgings by the father, he was re ferred to Messrs.

The reward was accordingly paid, and the cheque returned to Colonel Peel.—Doncaster Gazette. The works at the sea-wall are now drawing fast toward completion. The wall itself is, with the exception o f a small portion beyond the Crescent, carried up to its l eve l, the backing up is proceeding fast, and. the vast chasm which but a short time since presented itself to the eye has nearly vanished.

This being Michaelmas Da_ y am , the annual election of a Lord Mayor took place in the Guildhall. The Sheriffs and Aldermen met shortly after eleven o'clock, and went in procession to bear a sermon in the church of St. Lawrence, Jewry. The procession returned at a quarter past one o'clock, and immediately came upon the hustings. when The RECORDER then said, the Gentlemen of the LiT• 3 l were that day convened to exercise one of the highest privie_ leges they enjoyed, th e e l ec ti on o f th e Chi e f Magistrate c 4 that ancient city. The qualification for office was to bold the place of an Alde rman , an d t o h ave serve d the office of Sheriff. At the same time, as the names of those who ha d not hitherto had th e h onour o f filling the office of Lord Mar or were submitted to them in rotation, they would have the 1 01 :. vilege of selecting any one to fill the office from the Court ra! Aldermen. He was satisfied they were sufficiently with the i dis mportance of the duty they were called on to charge, and it wcul.d ill become him to press further on the i 's consideration the nature and character of that duty. rf Common Sergeant could read the names of ti wl 0 be, not filled the office, and in the exercise of their prirti' ge, 11 ' itwas thee his duty to leave them. The COMMON SERGEANT then came forward and said be would put up the names of those gentlemen who were eli gible to fill the office. The names having been read over, Mr. R. TAYLOR objected to the name of Mr. HumP herl y impressed being put up as an Alderman. A majority of the constituency of Melon te was in Mr. Salomons's favour, and the King' e s ie ß e e t n o_ c e, had decided that Mr. Humphrey had not been duly and therefore ha thought it illegal that his name s h o uld b e submitted to the Livery as an Ald-rman. The COMMON SERGEANT said no •man had more respect f , c i r Mr. Salomons or Sir Moses Mont e fior e th a n he bed, no r any man respect Mr. 'Taylor more; but be was b°urc i i i to say, that according to the usages of E n g lisbn :e v t. nothing was considered settled unlit it had been ht tied by the law.—( Cheers. ) A writ of error had been b rag and until the final decision of the Judges had been had u p on, the question, they were bound to know nothing of Mr . 6 a n ruins as an Alderman. Mr. Humphrey was the Alder nt io de facto, and he could not counsel the Sheriffs to do otherw than to put up his name. d b e Mr. TAYLOR differed from the Comm o n- Sergeant, an • id thought that while the matter was in dispute neither name shl ht be submitted to the livery. To do impartial justice, they e e e, ' to withhold both names. H e wou ld con t ent hi mse lf with P t " testing against the putting up the n mr of Mr. Humpbe r Y'd The names were then put up and Alderman Samuel Wilso n ' n Sir C. Marshall were declared duly elected to be returned to the Court of Alderman. The Sheriffs then retired to communicate the fact to th e Court of Alder men. L ord After an absence of nearly half an hour, the .Mavor'and. Alderman, returned, when t The RECORDER announced that the election had f a llen upon Samuel Wilson, Alderman, and weaver. —( Che s e r r :be The LORD MAYOR Elect then came forward to t haa oi , Livery for the distinguished honour they had just so 0;o mousty conferred on him. In accepting the office,' it g his him great pleasure to think that after:se% ea years' service c fellow-citizens had been so satisfied with the line of oe ° a, 14 duct he had pursued, that they had not tb ° that it necessary to appoint any deputation 0, wait on him to require any pledge for his future condu c ti t ' op eirt objected to pledges on a variety of grounds, and be t , bTre' that when a public-officer gave a pledge, be disqualifieu par self from the performance of the duties of his office, O n t re Loa ticularly that of chief magistrate of the City % e a for don.—(Loud cheers.) He felt the more graf t 01 1 the honour they had conferred on him, because it "' w ee known to many of his friends that an attempt bad be en int & to get up an opposition. He had been advised to afr pe ek Committee to conduct the business of the day, m id _ J e eliag the Hall ; but he had done no such thing—(Cheers) . .600 that after seven years' service it was not necessary to:P rop ree their votes. He had been informed that two pers etts 'k'oftil seating themselves to be Liverymen, waited on the die r , tor le° Company to which he belonged, stating they always ,tended a the Common Hall to cheer, and that their price Was ~'Gen" head.—( Laughter.)
